“By building the modern world, we have also built the infrastructure for a dangerous pandemic”— how right you were

[ZombieNoodles]

I love how sometimes they have a polite sounding anger for humanity

[darexinfinity]

Kurzgesagt: "If humanity plays its card right..."
Covid: "Good thing that won't happen."

[Mega-tlbx]

I'll just go to Greenland, that place never gets infected.

Edit: That one didn't age quite so well..

[ChocolateMilkMage]

Did you guys hear that? Madagascar just shut down it's airports and sea ports.

[LumaSloth]

It's fun to see all the comments after Corona.

[fruity]

"if humanity plays its cards right"
humanity: is able to predict a potential for a worldwide pandemic years in advance and still getting completely off guard by it

[akshade]

-You are a bacterium, Harry.
- I am a WhAT?

[DeriumsPokemon]

"If humanity plays its cards right"... Welp, we are screwed.

2015: scary news from china
2020: you dont say

[esteruwu]

I was treated with antibiotics as a child when I almost died from pneumonia. I’m studying to be a nurse now and just found out the bacteria that infected me as a child is now resistant to the antibiotics i was given to treat it. antibiotics resistance is terrifying. without antibiotics i would be dead now.

"If humanity played its cards

WE ARE SCREWED

[roseluman]

Kurzgesagt: What would you say if humanity is trying to kill us all?

Me: Not surprised

[jp]

When my ex, a medical resident, didn't finish her antibiotic regimen, I was a bit mad at her for being a hypocrite. She even told me she knew why you're supposed to finish it, but told me that she didn't feel like it and she said the chances of her body breeding a superbug is very low.

Many people think like that, that's why we have MDROs in the first place.

Don't randomly take antibiotics unless you have to, and if you take them, finish all of it. Leave no survivors, otherwise they may come back and haunt you.

2021:
Narrater: we don’t need to panic just yet!

(Then you realize this video was made 6 years ago)

[oettam]

"We have also built the infrastructure for a dangerous pandemic"
2020: surprise surprise

[fisher]

Thank god for the consistent uplifting endings on these videos because without them I'd have a nervous breakdown after every one

[ctqpro]

This video makes me reconsider about farming condition much more than tons of ridiculous strike of PETA.
